"The course was genuinely lifechanging for me. Peter's mode of teaching installed a self-confidence that allowed me to complete my pilot to the highest standard whilst constantly imagining new ideas to move the story forward. He brings his wealth of knowledge to every session and I've left the course feeling invigorated with new connections to the best production companies in the UK. If you want to write television, this is simply the best course out there."
"This course was the best writing decision I could have made this year and I am so grateful to Peter and to my classmates for this experience!"
"I don’t want to sound dramatic, but (the course) is truly life changing. Thank you all". Douglas Lan, course participant.
